Accommodation and ferry crossings or transfers are included in the price of all our winter holidays - for our French product, we include return Eurotunnel crossings but, if you would rather fly, we will do airport transfers from the appropriate airports - some attract a supplement

Chalet Board, HB or room only will depend on the accommodation, this can be found in ‘At a glance’ on the accommodation information page of our website. Most resorts have a rep who is on hand to offer advice and help during your stay. Our summer holidays include accommodation , board basis as stated and in some cases transfers (see each resort page)

Half board options and upgrades are available in some of our accommodation, please ask us about this.

What vehicle is used for the transfers?

When booking your holiday with transfers included, the transfer details will be confirmed about 7 days before you travel. Transfers can be in a private taxi, minibus or coach. In order to keep the waiting time at a minimum and the prices we charge you as low as possible, we do work with a range of suppliers and tour operators and combine groups where practical.

We have an international transport licence which allows us to perform our own transfers in our fleet of minibuses - we endeavour to use these where practical as it allows us to maximise the direct transfers and minimise the costs and therefore the prices we charge.

Do note that, in some instances, groups may not all travel in the same vehicle. For example a group of 10 may be transferred in 2 vehicles as each of our minibuses only has 8 passenger seats.

If you require a private transfer - do let us know - and we can let you know the relevant supplement.

Can I book flights, ferries, Euro tunnel through you?

We have preferential rates for the trains and ferries so do contact us for information (if you cannot see what you need on the site).

Regarding flights, with so many low cost airlines and regional options available these days most people prefer to organise their own travel to suit their needs. We can offer you travel advice on arrival airports, driving times etc; should you need it so please call us if you have any questions.

If we fly to an airport further away will the transfer still be included in the price?

Yes, but there will be a supplement depending on distance and airport. Before travelling with any flight you will need to give us your flight information including flight arrival times and flight number.

What happens if our flight is delayed?

The resort manager or Transfer Company will be aware of your flight arrival time and will be waiting for you upon arrival.

Do I need travel insurance?

It will be your responsibility to book your own travel insurance that is adequate for a ski/ activity holiday.

No, please let us know if you are taking your own equipment and we can book this for you. For the flight, ski boots and skis are considered over size with most airlines and will incur an additional charge.

You will need to check these charges with your airline.

Will you email me confirmation of my holiday?

You will receive a confirmation invoice by email within 3 days of making your booking. Should you wish to receive a copy through the post please email your request to reservations@zenithholidays.co.uk or ask us over the phone.

When is the balance due for my holiday?

You will need to pay a deposit of 20% of your holiday. The remaining balance is due 8 weeks prior to departure. If you book within 56 days of travelling you will need to pay the full balance.

What happens if I need to cancel my holiday?

You will need to contact us in writing or by email to reservations@zenithholidays.co.uk.

Cancellation charges will be liable depending on the date of cancellation received. The terms and conditions of charges can be found in our booking conditions.

Do I have to pay an under occupancy for a room?

The apartment/chalet price is the same regardless of how many people it may occupy. For insurance purposes the room cannot be over occupied.

I am travelling alone will there be a single supplement?

In some of our resorts we have single rooms with no supplement payable, however some hotels do charge a supplement where twin rooms are used for single occupancy.

If I want a balcony will I get it?

For our chalet accommodation, all our rooms are named and facilities described - accordingly, if you book a room with a balcony, you will get that one. When the chalet is taken by a group the party leader can decide the room allocation when you arrive in the resort.

For the apartments/hotels we can request rooms with balconies if these are available, in some cases a supplement may be charged.

In some resorts we can arrange a private nanny for you. Please see the families section for details and prices.
